One of the most fascinating aspects of medical science is the rapid rate at which we are able to learn new information and make new discoveries. At Bod•ē Pro, we are very interested in these studies which is why we were so intrigued by reports from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. According to a 2016 study published in Cell, “research suggests it is possible to slow or even reverse aging, at least in mice, by undoing changes in gene activity—the same kinds of changes that are caused by decades of life in humans. By tweaking genes that turn adult cells back into embryonic-like ones, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies reversed the aging of mouse and human cells in vitro, extended the life of a mouse with an accelerated-aging condition and successfully promoted recovery from an injury in a middle-aged mouse.” This is significant because the “study adds weight to the scientific argument that aging is largely a process of so-called epigenetic changes, alterations that make genes more active or less so. Over the course of life cell-activity regulators get added to or removed from genes. In humans those changes can be caused by smoking, pollution or other environmental factors—which dial the genes’ activities up or down. As these changes accumulate, our muscles weaken, our minds slow down and we become more vulnerable to diseases. The study suggests the possibility of reversing at least some of these changes, a process researchers think they may eventually get to work in living humans. ‘Aging is something plastic that we can manipulate,’ says Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, the study’s senior author and an expert in gene expression at Salk. In their study Belmonte and his colleagues rejuvenated cells by turning on, for a short period of time, four genes that have the capacity to convert adult cells back into an embryonic-like state.”[1]

If you are a fan of Bod•ē Pro and this blog, you know that we are big fans of health and science and the cellular level, which is why we developed Bod•ē TEN. Bod•ē TEN is an ultra-premium nutritional supplement that enhances cellular energy production, increases stamina, and reduces oxidative stress.* As we age, our mitochondria decrease, become less efficient, and do not function to their fullest potential. As a result, you may not benefit from their full energy production abilities. Bod•ē TEN was specifically designed to increase and improve mitochondria energy production.* Science is not yet at the point of completely arresting the aging process, but TEN works at the cellular level to provide essential nutrients needed to support your body’s mitochondria-the power generators of your cells.* Designed to support the number of mitochondria in your body and assist them in working more efficiently, Bod•ē TEN will help power your body to its fullest potential.*

TEN is a potent supplement, be sure to take with a meal or a full stomach.
